How do you get cleanup logic in between every Activity retry (the Activity failed and is retrying).

I could this by surrounding my Activity in a while loop with try catch in it, but that seems redundant to do with Temporal. Is there a better way?

You can make it part of the activity. You can use the `Attempt` field in the activity to determine if the cleanup is needed. Retrying from the workflow is the way to go if you need another activity to perform cleanup.
